Another year, another advisory for a noisy exhaust and a photo or 2.



Plans for the new year include fitting these, just need new pads



The other one is trying to stop it leaking oil from the filter. I've done loads over the years and never had a problem before but this new filter just isn't playing ball. Both are 'Ducatimondo' and having looked, it's different to the old one and has a number of 'tabs' sticking into the groove where the seal goes near the rivets. There's also a very small dent on the inner rim between 1 and 2 o'clock.

Old on the right, new on the left



The seating surface is fine on the engine so who knows if these tabs are causing the problem (the seal sits proud of them) but the old one didn't leak this one does. For the sake of a few quid I may be investing in another filter, anyone recommend one? K&N perhaps?
